We did that too, but it works differently than you might expect;
In fact it's encouraged by the custom scrollbar-solution; have a few containers (look at mine) and put the top of the vertical scrollbar underneath the PageframeTabs. Thus, the pageframe is in the non-scrollable part.
Now you have to fuzz with the content of the Pages which are in another container than the Tabs !
What this in general comes to, is that the content of the Pages is moved to another part of the form (the Scrollable one container) and what in the end leads to not have any data on the Pages themselves. So, they are dummy.
This looks like a strange solution, but for us it allowed for having the Tabs always visible and scroll the "contents" of the pages. So functionally what you want I guess. It's all very consistent en robust, though "strange".

Mind you, with many Objects on all the pages before, the form now loads -let's say- 10 times quicker if you have 10 pages, because the content is filled dynamically and on the click of a Tab.
Again, it allows for all the control you might wish for (but of course this is often when you create these kind of things yourself).
